Years go by between the times I install a new
Ubuntu/Trinty.
It is now time again -- this time to build a machine
to replace my wife's antique Win XP.
I just did the install with Trinity's CD image
Ubuntu 18.02/Trinity 14.07.
I want to set a static IP for the box -- and get rid
of the DHCP crap.
All the searching either shows
Make changes to the /etc/netplan yaml file
-- there isn't any - just an empty directory!
-or-
"Click on top right network icon and select
settings corresponding to
the network interface you wish to assign with the static IP address."
--- ya, well, this is Trinity.
..and, of course NONE of this resembles anything I
remember from
hacking my Ubuntu 16.04 with Trinity from a WAY LONG time ago.
Could someone please point me where to start?
I really don't remember the official procedure for configuring Ubuntu networking,
but here's what may be all that you need to know from one of my many using static IP:
